“He was just yelling, (hold the ball) ‘High and tight’ and making sure we had two hands on the ball in certain situations,” running back David Wilson said. “If we didn’t, he got on us. He was on everybody. He wanted to eliminate it from the whole team.”

Coughlin dislikes looking back, but he can’t easily forget the Giants committing six turnovers in their season-opening 36-31 loss to the Cowboys in Dallas on Sunday. Their inability to secure the ball was personified by Wilson, the second-year back who lost two fumbles, the second of which was returned 27 yards for a touchdown by safety Barry Church. Wilson was directed to remain on the sideline for the remainder of the game.

“Not just to me, though, the whole team because next time it could be somebody else,” Wilson said. “So he wants to fix it with the whole team. He’s doing his part and we’ve got to do our part when we get on the field.”

It was the second time in his brief career that Wilson was removed from a game because he fumbled; it also happened in the 2012 season opener vs. Dallas. But Wilson said he is not concerned about losing his job.

“You can’t worry about that kind of stuff,” he said. “You’ve just got to go out there and play your game and make plays. Fumbles have to be eliminated and that’s something that’s not going to help the team win. You can’t worry about it too much, but you’ve got to make sure you don’t do it. If you do it, it’s not going to help the team, you’ll have bad results. I’m just going out there and playing my game.”
